  Case: CT Internship
I am in my second internship with a ESE high school teacher. It has been about a month into my internship and he still has yet to involve me in the classroom. I have taught before at the elementary level and although I don't want to take over the class and I want him to feel comfortable I also want to help. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I completely understand how you feel! I am in my second internship with an ESE middle school teacher and it has been about a month in as well. My CT has given me the pleasure to work with the students starting my second week in, but my elementary CT was not that way at all and gave a bad reputation for all other CT's out there as she would never let me help. I went almost two months without assisting the students. I would recommend putting a foot out there and helping out anyway. If a student needs help but the CT is busy, rush over to help them. I started by passing out papers and then helping the students when they raised their hand. I began to study her like a book so I knew what to do at all times to help out. She eventually let me lead a small group until I could teach whole class. It will get better!
